I don't use a lot of glitter card but I love white & black glitter card. I used a 6X6 card matted some white glitter card. I cut the larger Sizzlet snowflakes on the Big shot. The smaller snowflakes I punched out of the same card. I cut some strips of acetate at different lengths. I put a little black Enamel Essentials in the middle! I coloured a peel off with black peel off pen and stuck it to the acetate.

We are decorating this week so we are dreading it.

I went for wallpaper this morning and came home with card & peel offs from The Crafty Touch lol!

WELL it wasn't my fault they didn't have enough rolls in stock lol! Was it?

Well I needed a distraction today as none of us had heard from DS2 for 9 days! This is very unusual for him! He managed to ring his Fiancé tonight so it's sighs of relief all round! As Diana said we will all sleep tonight! It's such a worrying time for us, will I ever get used to it!

Soo, I was pleased when my new stamps arrived late afternoon! From Chloe's Creative cards! HERE
The petals and the fir stamps.
I stamped onto burgundy card with Versamark then heat embossed with gold embossing powder. I stamped the fir with Brilliance green Pearlescent Ivy. Sentiment is a stamp I have had for years stamped with Brilliance Pearlescent Crimson. I made an 8x8 card with AMD card stock. I cut an aperture with the large bauble nestie in my GC.
Snowflake is a Sizzix die. Bits from my stash!

I am entering my card in the following challenges.

I went to Jak Heath's Pro Marker class today. Only ten of us there so really good day, I feel I learned loads. We even got some Pro Markers a fine nib & a DVD so we don't forget. We had tea & biscuits and also our lunch! We even had cream cakes!

I used a snow marker & heat embossed on both dog cards to make it look like fur.

I used a Mariann Die & circle nestie. Sentiment is Anita's.

I used grand nesties 4 to make the card then matted some smaller sizes the digital image is free

I have made another Art Deco card by The Clipart Fairy, I love her designs & this is one of my favourites. I made it into a get well card for my Aunt who has been trying to recover from a knee replacement operation and has had a fall and broken her hip! Now she is recovering from a hip replacement on the opposite side. Poor soul she is a long way away for us but we are going to visit her today in hospital near Manchester.

I made the Art Deco using an 8x8 card I made with AMD A3 card. Some gorgeous paper I have been saving lol! I printed a sentiment & cut with Oval nesties.

My next card is from Tatty Ted cd. I made an A5 card (Kan Ban) I put blue Tim Holtz Co Ordinations through a Me to You embossing folder & distressed it with a sand paper. Backing paper & Decoupage is from TT cd.
Thanks for calling today!
